Humanities Radio Presents Comm 3520: Dolcetti Gelato with Ava Honigman by University of Utah College of Humanities

The Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a) reads, “The government may, with leave of court, dismiss an indictment, information, or complaint. The government may not dismiss the prosecution during trial without the defendant's consent.” This rule has recently been used by the Justice Department in cases like the Mayor Eric Adams case and January 6th cases. In both instances, judges have questioned the reasons for the dismissal and revealed unsolved conflict between permissive and restrictive views of the judge's role, both to explore executive decisions of the prosecution and whether to dismiss indictments with or without prejudice to their later renewal. This panel will discuss the rule and its recent uses, along with questions regarding the government’s motivation to dismiss such cases and just how far judicial review can and ought to go when approving the dismissals.Featuring:Prof. Paul Cassell, Ronald N.

Send us a textToday In the Den, we're diving into a deeply personal and courageous journey—one that bridges faith, family, and the fight for LGBTQ+ equality. Gary and Millie Watts, parents to six children, were devout members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when their son Craig came out as gay. They chose to affirm and support their gay son in a time when there was no internet, no church support, and very little understanding.  They became forces for change on many fronts, including a years-long letter writing effort between Gary and top leaders of the LDS (Mormon) Church. Theirs is a beautiful story of love of faith and family. Special Guests: Gary and Millie Watts Gary Watts was born in 1940 in Logan, Utah, into a committed Mormon family. He attended Utah State University, where he was captain of the basketball team. After serving a two-year church mission in New Zealand, he married Mildred ‘Millie' Cragun, his sweetheart since middle school. Gary then attended the University of Utah College of Medicine, graduating in 1968.Millie Watts was born in 1941, also in Logan. Her dad was a well-known and popular family practice physician.Gary worked for 35 years as a radiologist at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, Utah. He was president of the UVRMC medical staff in 1981-82, and president of the Utah Medical Foundation in 1988-89. Millie was involved in many activities, serving as president of the Provo PTA, president of the Utah County Medical Auxiliary, and president of her church's primary education program three times. They have six children, two of whom are gay. Links from the Show: Find Gary's book Rainbow Letters here: https://www.amazon.com/Rainbow-Letters-Gary-Watts-M-D/dp/B09YMGF8K2  Join Mama Dragons today: www.mamadragons.org In the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

For a full transcript of this episode, click here. This show is a very natural follow-on to episode 418 with Mark Cuban and Ferrin Williams, PharmD, MBA. This show is the how, as in, “How did everything that we talked about in the earlier show wind up the way it did?” And it also proves it … with data. I gotta say I never quite understood the finer points of the rationale of a cash pay system for minor expenses—expenses like generic drugs. I always framed this whole thing in the context of a senior on a fixed income taking 10 drugs, as my grandma did. And even if each of those drugs was only $5 or $10 a month, that's enough beans a month that it was a big deal for her to swing. So, I have always had this thought that these drugs should be covered by her insurance so she and everybody else living on a fixed income trying to make ends meet could get them and take them and not die from complications of diabetes or high blood pressure. Now, the counterargument to the above, which I have certainly heard more than once, is to offer members/patients HSAs (health savings accounts) and have them buy stuff with their HSA. My knee jerk there is, yeah, but I can barely figure out the deal with HSAs. Most Americans don't even know what a deductible is let alone an HSA. This approach just feels like it demands a lot of health literacy. So, that's the place I was when I walked into this conversation in this episode with Ge Bai, PhD, CPA. Here's two facts that got me inching away from my original position: 1. Generic drugs are cheap. There is already competition in the manufacturing marketplace that holds these prices down. 2. PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) and insurance are devices to pool risk. If you have a high expense, that expense gets spread out over the rest of the insured population (ie, the risk pool). This whole spreading out of the risk is arduous to pull off and requires a level of administrative costs. So, let's break this down: In terms of #1 fact, that generic drugs are cheap, let's think about the value prop of PBMs. It's to throw their market power around to lower drug prices. But, oh wait … the prices of cheap generics are already cheap. So, not much need for market power? Yeah, that's a fact. One of the studies that I talk about in this healthcare podcast with Ge Bai quantifies that. For patients in their deductible phase actually, 79% of the time paying cash is cheaper than if the patient had used their insurance and gotten the price “negotiated by their PBM.” So, yeah … anytime pretty much anybody can wander in and get a better price than a Fortune 15 PBM, it's pretty clear that market power is not overly required here. In fact, getting PBMs in the mix just seems to make the drug prices higher for patients. Alright now, moving on to my fact #2 I talked about earlier, which is, what is the point of insurance (and PBMs are a derivative of insurance)? The point with them is to pool risk, to spread out the cost of something over the entire risk pool. So, yeah … drug costs $3. What is the administrative burden that goes in to spreading $3 across a risk pool? Is it worth it? Or is the admin cost burden more burdensome than the actual cost burden of the cost of the drug, and all we're doing here is driving up the price of healthcare, which ultimately might throw more financial burden back on the patient through higher premiums or out-of-pockets? That's the second study that I talk about today with Ge Bai, and it quantifies exactly how much that administrative burden is when it comes to generic drugs. Because you know who makes the most money in a generic drug transaction? No, it's not the pharma manufacturer, if that's what you were thinking. It's not the pharmacy. It's not the wholesaler. Yeah, it's the PBM. The PBM, by a margin of 10 points, makes the most money. The administrative cost burden is actually the most expensive part of buying a generic drug using your insurance and going through that PBM. There's a bar chart that visualizes these proportions. But while I'm on a roll here, here's a #3 fact that speaks to my concerns about HSAs that I raised at the beginning and the financial literacy required to use them: Health insurance is already super complicated, and no one can understand it. And here's a #4 let's-talk-about-the-real-world fact: Health insurance and paying for drugs is already pretty unaffordable for lots of people. So, I guess in theory it would be amazing if we could have our drugs paid for so they could be affordable. And if that were true and things were a little complicated … okay, trade-offs and all that. But right now, the situation is that drugs can be pretty unaffordable, including “cheap” generics; AND getting them covered is complicated. So, bar is pretty low to do better by patients is my point. And this is what I talk about with, as aforementioned, my guest today, Ge Bai. Ge Bai probably needs no introduction.

The European Union is considering adopting a wide-ranging regulatory regime for the licensing and litigation of standard essential patents (SEPs). Proposed for release on World IP Day (April 26, 2023), a leak revealed the EU plan to create an administrative tribunal to perform mandatory “essentiality checks” of certain SEPs, set royalty rates for those SEPs, mandate public disclosure of licenses, and provide mandatory but non-binding conciliation for disputes. Critics contend that this regulatory regime is unnecessary and will stifle the explosive rate of innovation in mobile telecommunications with added costs. Supporters argue this regime will bring more certainty in the marketplace and reduce costs in litigation over SEPs. This panel of experts will discuss the EU proposal and its implications for participation in standards development, patent law, commercial law, competition law and innovation policy in the global innovation economy.Featuring:Elisabeth Opie, Founder and Principal Solicitor, Opie International Technology LawyersAdam Mossoff, Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason UniversityJorge Contreras, Professor of Law, University of Utah College of Law[Moderator] Urška Petrovčič, Senior Fellow, Hudson InstituteVisit our website – www.RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.*******As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.

Oncology is a rapidly evolving medical field. So how do you keep up with all the advances and updates that are delivered through publications, conferences, and social media? This ASCO Education podcast explores how three oncologists in various settings and stages of their career manage this issue. Our moderator Dr. Adriana Alvarez, a medical oncologist at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio is joined by Dr. Sharad Goyal, a professor and division chief of Radiation Oncology at George Washington University in Washington, DC; Dr. Shruti Patel, an oncology fellow at Stanford University in California; and Dr. Banu Symington, a medical oncologist at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County in Wyoming, and adjunct professor in the University of Utah College of Nursing. Each will describe what they do to keep up to date on research advances and guidelines (3:25), how they find time to stay current in their field (7:25) and how they follow developments outside of their area of concentration (13:57).  The speakers have no relevant disclosures.  Resources: Podcast: Cancer Topics - Burned Out?

TRANSCRIPT Disclosures for this podcast are listed on the podcast page.  Dr. Adriana Alvarez: An oncologist recently described that while sitting on a couch to write an article, by the time he finished his first paragraph, he received six notifications on his iPhone from WhatsApp, Twitter, and other messages. He knows what the dilemma is; you can shut down your phone, but you become worried about missing an urgent call or important update. The oncologist knows that social media is a place to follow friends and colleagues, to discover new presentations, and even debate about them. However, he understands the overload of information that is part of the rapidly evolving field of oncology. On any given day or week, there are research advances and updates in the management of cancer being shared through journal publications, conference presentations, newsletters, social media, and other methods. How does one keep up to date with these advances in oncology?  I'm Dr. Adriana Alvarez, a medical oncologist at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. In this ASCO Education Podcast, we will examine what various oncology professionals at different stages in their careers and working in different practice settings, namely academic versus community and urban versus rural, are doing to manage the large amount of information influx regarding advances in oncology.  Joining me are Dr. Sharad Goyal, a professor and division chief of radiation oncology at George Washington University in Washington, DC; Dr. Shruti Patel, an oncology fellow at Stanford University; and Dr. Banu Symington, a medical oncologist at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County in Wyoming, and adjunct professor in the University of Utah College of Nursing.  Let's start. One of the first questions I have here is how you can describe your current field of focus in oncology. Dr. Patel? Dr. Shruti Patel: My current clinical focus in oncology is in thoracic and gastrointestinal malignancies, while my research interests include clinical trials, liquid biopsy, and diversity, and equity and inclusion.  Dr. Sharad Goyal: My current clinical and research focus is on breast cancer, radiation therapy, as well as radiation therapy with respect to neuro-oncology in the neuro-oncology space. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: What about you, Dr. Symington? Dr. Banu Symington: I'm a general oncologist, medical oncologist, in an extreme rural, I'm considered a frontier practice. I have a special interest in eliminating the social disparity that is represented by rurality, and I'm interested in clinical trials. We are the only Wyoming Cancer Center that opened clinical trials. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: Well, it's all wonderful to hear about you and know a little bit about what your focus of work is, and we come from a variety of backgrounds. How do you feel like you keep up to date with the clinical practice, the research parts with new drugs approval in oncology? You are still in training Dr. Patel. How do you do that? Dr. Shruti Patel: As a millennial, it may come as no surprise that I primarily stay up to date on clinical practice guidelines via Twitter on my phone. I find Twitter to be the best place to learn new information. Just because you don't just get information about the new approvals, but typically experts in the field will weigh in on the trial design, their thoughts on whether it truly will replace the current standard of care or what situations they might use the new approval for, which can really be helpful, especially as a fellow in training. It's helpful context beyond just the information that you get from the approval itself. And then, I also learn about the applications of these new guidelines in the clinic with my mentors, because I am, of course, lucky enough to still be in training where I can gather that information from my attendings. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: Dr. Goyal, what is your preferred method of keeping up to date and learning more about the new treatments and research in your area of interest?  Dr. Sharad Goyal: As opposed to Dr. Patel, I am not part of social media in medicine. Actually, I'm not a part of any social media, whether it's personal or work-related. So I tend to be a little more “old school” with respect to how I ingest information. So, in terms of clinical practice guidelines and new drug approvals, which is somewhat peripheral to my field in radiation oncology, I tend to rely on NCCN guidelines and attendance at tumor boards to receive that information from my colleagues in medical oncology. I believe that with any patient that I see with a malignancy, I do tend to refer to the NCCN guidelines on a regular basis. And if it's a malignancy that I do not see, I have to reference PubMed, UpToDate, and the NCCN guidelines to determine the best course of treatment for that patient. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: What about you, Dr. Symington? Being in the rural area, I can see that you have a variety of situations. How do you keep up to date? Dr. Banu Symington: I guess I'm midway between Doctors Patel and Goyal. I do not follow Twitter, but I belong to a 5000-member online hematology/oncology support group, and we post questions, and local thought leaders will reply. I am in such an isolated location. I don't get the stimulation or the benefit of walking down the hall to a colleague to say ‘What would you do?' So I am affiliated with the Huntsman and the University of Utah. I've made an effort to join every organ-specific tumor board so that I can hear discussions by disease thought leaders about how they're going to take care of each type of cancer and hearing that week after week, I do absorb it.  Medical oncology is a challenging field because things move so rapidly. I took an 18-month, mostly Sabbatical, as I functioned as a chief of staff at a larger hospital. And in that 18-month period, where I volunteered in a clinic, immune checkpoint therapy arose, and targeted therapies for lung cancer arose and I felt like Sleeping Beauty. I went to sleep in one world, and I woke up in a completely different world of oncology. And it was hard to get back into the drift until I connected with colleagues. I'm an avid reader. I don't sleep much. So I am a member of AMA, ASCO, and ACP, so I get all the print journals. And I have a disorder, an obsessive-compulsive disorder, that makes me have to look through every single journal I get. So print and tumor boards and colleagues.  Dr. Adriana Alvarez: So we are very busy, and the work that we do, the clinical work, trying to keep up to date and training and all that, how do you schedule time to do this, to learn about the research advances and to keep going? Dr. Goyal, how do you find the time? Dr. Sharad Goyal: In general, I do think that in my realm, in my head, I think that there are three processes that have to occur when I incorporate research into my practice. So number one, I have to learn about it. Number two, I have to determine if that's going to help change my practice. And then number three, if I do end up changing practice, I have to implement it. And that involves dealing with my staff. So I'm going to delve into each of those in a little bit more detail. So learning about the advance typically, I learn about things through CME activities. So in one of my roles in our cancer center, I help organize our grand rounds and some oncology-specific courses. Being involved in the organization, helping find speakers really keeps me engaged not only in the organization process, but also in the learning process because I have a vested interest in making sure that the trainees and other faculty that attend my courses are learning and are happy.  Dr. Adriana Alvarez: To organize all these, do you schedule time during your job, outside work hours? Dr. Sharad Goyal: Yes, that is part of my job, which extends outside of work hours. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: Sounds good. Dr. Symington, well, you mentioned that you don't sleep much, you keep up to date, looks more at night. But do you find the time in between patients or during your workday to keep up to date, or is more like a solitude type of time?  Dr. Banu Symington: I forgot to mention a resource that I feel like people should know about, MedNet, which is presented daily with three clinical cases and thought leaders mentioning what they would do. They often introduce research ideas that are not adopted into practice. Since I read, I read about new innovative treatments, but I am not an early adopter, so I wait until they become an NCCN guideline before I would adopt it. So that might be different from Dr. Goyal, who's in an academic center. But I see patients five days a week, 10 hours a day, so it has to be all scheduled outside of those hours. It's fortunate that my kids are grown, and I don't sleep much.  Dr. Adriana Alvarez: What about you, Dr. Patel? On the go, I can imagine. I remember not long ago, being fellow and a millennial, so I guess on your iPhone. Dr. Shruti Patel: Even though I'm a fellow, I do like sleep. And now that I'm in my research years, I actually get sleep, which is lovely. I can't say that I schedule time to learn about research advances, but rather it's– Usually, I take the train to work, and so I'm scrolling on my Twitter on the Caltrain down to Palo Alto, monitoring for medical news or updates. Really, that's how I gather information. I also partake in CME activity, creating CME educational materials on Twitter as well. And so that's another way in which I learn because if I'm creating the information, then I have to go through the trials and go through all of these things, side effects. And so it's a really great way, additionally, for me to learn. But none of that stuff is really scheduled. It's kind of really when I have time, on my to-do list, usually outside of business hours. Part of the job is staying up to date with things outside of business hours. And I think we all knew that when we signed up for the job. And it's only gotten more as all of these advances are kind of coming out at us like drinking out of a fire hydrant. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: The most recent moment that you found new information related to your practice, how did you learn about it? Not about everything that you do, but the last time, the most recent one that you did that. Dr. Goyal? Dr. Sharad Goyal: I recently referenced the NCCN guidelines. I was treating a gentleman with male breast cancer, and he told me he had some half-brothers and that they were going to get tested, but he was inquiring about the screening guidelines for men with BRCA mutations, and I had to look that up. I knew what they were for women, but I actually did not know what they were for men. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: What about you, Dr. Symington? Dr. Banu Symington: So last Thursday morning at 7:00, I joined the Huntsman Tumor Board for Breast. And one of the breast-specific oncologists actually said something that defies the NCCN guidelines, but it sounded like it made sense. He said he regularly gets PET scans for staging lymph node-positive HER2-positive breast cancer because he finds, and apparently the breast cancer community finds, that other scans can give you a false-negative result. And there are enough patients with metastatic disease in the lymph node-positive setting that he recommended PET scans for staging of HER2-positive breast cancer patients but not for ER-positive breast cancer patients. So that was just five days ago. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: Wow. And what about you, Dr. Patel? When was the most recent time that you found something that was good information for your practice?  Dr. Shruti Patel: Yeah, as a fellow, I love learning about new information when I'm able to learn how to integrate it into the practice with someone that's more experienced than I am. So, of course, I've already mentioned that Twitter can be a great place. But also a few weeks ago, I was attending GI ASCO up in San Francisco, and they presented the latest results from NAPOLI-3, which was a phase 3 study looking at first-line liposomal irinotecan 5FU and oxaliplatin versus gem-Abraxane. And they presented that it was shown to improve overall survival compared to gem-Abraxane in first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer. And I was actually sitting next to my clinic mentor at the time, and during the break, I got to hear about his thoughts on whether this is going to be integrated into clinical practice, given that the control arm was gem-Abraxane, and not FOLFOXIRI. And we ended up discussing it again during our weekly GI trials meetings, just when we're thinking about opening new trials and what the control arm should be. And so I just thought that was like a new piece of information. Thought about it in the clinic, thought about it in the trial meeting, and it was pretty cool. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: Great. So different settings, different ways to gain information. So, Dr. Symington, you have to see a little bit of everything. So you have to be an expert in everything. And I wonder how you, Dr. Goyal, and Dr. Patel, that you are kind of more subspecialized. How do you usually follow advances in other cancers that are not in your particular area of interest or just focus on your disease group? I'm going to let Dr. Goyal go first. Dr. Sharad Goyal: Thank you. So I find that I tend to go to conferences to learn about advances outside of my disease focus. I prefer going to the educational sessions at major conferences like ASTRO or ASCO to keep up on things. On a more local level, I do find when I cover tumor boards for my colleagues that I do have to prep their patients and learn about different treatment paradigms within those disease sites. And in doing so, I feel like I'm able to gain really a deeper understanding about oncology in general, and I do very much appreciate that. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: And Dr. Patel, well, you're in training, so you have to see a little bit of everything, even though you have the focus of your specialty that you are looking forward to do. But do you follow those too, as well? Other areas that might not take your interest right away but you want to be updated? Dr. Shruti Patel: That's exactly it. I have to have a working knowledge of all the areas of oncology that are not my focus area. But really, for the most up-to-date information, the reality is that there are so many new advances in all of these disease types that I find myself leaning on my colleagues. If I come across a lymphoma patient on consults, I'll usually reach out to my lymphoma specialized colleagues, whether that's my co-fellows or attendings, just to kind of run the patient by them, get their insight, get their input, because they're just a lot more up to date on those things than I am. But really, regardless of the subspecialty within oncology, I do think that understanding the basics of all the oncology subspecialties is important in medical oncology. Because most of us will, or are, will for me because I'm a fellow, will be spending time on the inpatient service, which is not tumor type specific, and you really do have to make decisions for patients. And while, of course, you always have your colleagues to rely on and call on, some of those decisions are being made in the middle of the night. And so having a working knowledge of all of them, I think, is important. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: We are lucky to live in a time that we have so many options, right? As a practicing oncologist myself, I rely also on all the resources that you're mentioning. The fear I have sometimes is, okay, I'm relying on the NCCN guidelines, but what if I'm missing something? The fear of missing something, right? It's like if I'm not on Twitter or in another social media; I'm missing the most recent data, that may affect my patient care or things like that. But if I have to ask one of you, if you have to pick one, what would be your preferred method or format of receiving updated information if you have to decide where you could go for it? What about you, Dr. Symington? Dr. Banu Symington: So, although I have made the case that I love reading, I actually absorb information better if someone is talking to me. So if I had the freedom to take time off, I would prefer to hear it at one-day specialty seminars where a thought leader is describing their work. That is not what I do in practice, but that would be my preferred way of getting new information.  Dr. Adriana Alvarez: Dr. Goyal? Dr. Sharad Goyal: I'm very much aligned with Dr. Symington in that. I prefer a less active role in the learning process, and I prefer to be spoken to. My preferred method is via podcast, but I also do prefer the in-person or virtual learning through a conference as well. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: What about you, Dr. Patel? Dr. Shruti Patel: I promise you that Elon Musk is not paying me to say all of this because I've probably mentioned Twitter in every single answer. But my preferred method, as you guys probably can guess, is Twitter. It doesn't require too much dedicated time. Information is delivered in small doses. Like I said, I do it on my commute, so it makes me feel like my commute is actually part of my work, which is just wonderful. I do like to attend these smaller meetings to be kind of, like both Dr. Symington and Dr. Goyal said, to be spoken to and really learn additional information. I would say that I don't necessarily always get that experience at the bigger meetings where the focus is more networking. But ‘Best of ASCO', those are kind of some types of meetings where the information is kind of told to you. It's distilled down into bite-sized pieces and really understandable. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: Well, all amazing experiences. And I'm glad that we have different points of view, different settings, different career paths. Someone mentioned before is that we're always learning. I feel like here; everybody's very humble to recognize that we're on the learning curve all the time and that we have a real interest in our patient care. Because we are trying to catch the moment, try to make sure that we deliver the best care to our patients, like keeping up to date and listening to the new information. Dr. Goyal, any advice for your colleagues in terms of how to best keep up to date? Dr. Sharad Goyal: My personal philosophy is that as a physician, the learning never stops. And if you do stop learning, maybe you should find a different field. During the pandemic, I started scheduling time with colleagues, friends in my field, and I would set up a meeting with them via our assistants every two or three months. And we would not only socialize but we would kind of catch up on the current state of affairs in our field. And it was an opportunity to also network, and it was very helpful, especially during COVID. It really helped me gain some normalcy and kind of keep me attached to the field of radiation oncology during that time. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: How do you navigate clinic work, keeping up to date, and work-life balance? Dr. Goyal? Dr. Sharad Goyal: Like Dr. Symington, I probably work about 50 hours a week in the office, so I tend to work from 7:00 to 5:00, and I'm out of the office at 5:00 on the dot. I have two small children at home, and I want to see them at least for two hours in the evening before they go to bed. As a radiation oncologist, we take HomeCall, and there are very few emergencies, so I have the weekends to not only spend time with my family but also catch up on any work that needs to be done.  Dr. Adriana Alvarez: I'm so glad to hear that. Congratulations on your family.  Dr. Symington? Dr. Banu Symington: Well, I rescue small dogs, so at the moment, I have five small dogs, and they get a walk a day when weather permits. We're in the middle of a blizzard in Wyoming, so weather hasn't been permitting for the past four days, so the love and attention of those dogs keep me grounded. I also regularly go to the gym. I dread it every time I go, but I go at least four times a week, and I leave the gym and leave some of my problems behind. When I was younger, people would comment on the fact that I was slender and didn't need to go to the gym and would ask me why I did it, and I would say it's so I don't beat my children. That was obviously a joke, but I could shed the problems of the day by running on the treadmill or using the StairMaster. So I guess that's how I keep work-life balance.  Dr. Adriana Alvarez: What about you, Dr. Patel? Dr. Shruti Patel: I would say that my work-life balance has improved greatly in the last eight months since I started the research portion of my fellowship. I'm not writing papers at 2:00 a.m. anymore, so that's like a huge upgrade. But really, I think, prioritizing when you're at work, you're at work, but then when you're at home, really trying to prioritize the things that are important to you. I am currently in my parents' home, while I'm recording this podcast, I get to spend time with them. I get to spend time with my family, my friends. I like to make time for those things because they provide me joy. I think a huge part of our work is being there for people in really, really tough times in their life, and that can be extremely emotionally draining, even though it's exactly what we want to do. And I think making sure that you have things outside of work that really provide you a lot of joy is extremely important. And so I think now that I have the time to do it, I really am trying to capitalize on it. Dr. Adriana Alvarez: Well, I really want to thank you, all of you, Dr. Goyal, Dr. Patel, and Dr. Symington, for a lively discussion. I learned a lot from you and a little bit about your personal life. Thank you for sharing that and sharing how you navigate to be a physician in oncology.  So this ASCO Education Podcast is where we explore topics ranging from implementing new cancer treatments and improving patient care to oncology well-being and professional development.

JOE AND MICHAEL ANSWERS QUESTIONS FROM UTAH COLLEGE STUDENTS --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joe-baker46/support

There is a massive disconnect between what courts were designed to do—solve legal disputes through lawyer-driven, adversarial litigation—and what these courts are asked to do today—help people without lawyers navigate complex social, economic and interpersonal challenges, most of which are deeply tied to structural inequality. As a result, the judicial role is in upheaval, according to our guests. In this episode, we discuss how we got here and if we can fix it. Guests: Colleen F. Shanahan, Clinical Professor of Law, Columbia University Law School; Founder of Columbia Law School's Community Advocacy Lab Anna Carpenter, Professor of Law, Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law; Senior Director, Presidential Initiatives, Office of the President, University of Utah; Founder and Director of the Justice Lab at Utah College of Law Alyx Mark, Assistant Professor of Government, Wesleyan University. Article: “America's Lawyerless Courts,” written by Anna E. Carpenter, Colleen F. Shanahan, Alyx Mark and Jessica Steinberg.

If you loaded up the internet or turned on the television somewhere in the United States over the last two months, it's been impossible to avoid news coverage of the defamation trial of actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard—both of whom sued each other over a dispute relating to allegations by Heard of domestic abuse by Depp. In early June, a Virginia jury found that both had defamed the other. The litigation has received a great deal of coverage for what it might say about the fate of the Me Too movement—but the flood of falsehoods online around the trial raises questions about how useful defamation law can really be in countering lies. This week on Arbiters of Truth, our series on the online information ecosystem, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with RonNell Andersen Jones, the Lee E. Teitelbaum Professor of Law at the University of Utah College of Law and an expert on the First Amendment and the interaction between the press and the courts. Along with Lyrissa Lidsky, she's written about defamation law, disinformation, and the Depp-Heard litigation. They talked about why some commentators think defamation could be a useful route to counter falsehoods, why RonNell thinks the celebrity litigation undercuts that argument, and the few cases in which claims of libel or slander really could have an impact in limiting the spread of lies.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
